Background: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a highly prevalent, serious and chronic infection. It been associated causally with a diverse spectrum of gastrointestinal disorders including chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, gastric adenocarcinoma. We conducted a study to Evaluation of the role of breastfeeding and breast milk on the colonization of H. pylori in the gastrointestinal tract...

introduction and aims: until today human stomach is the only recognized habitat of h. pylori . however, recruitment of dna-based methods has made possible the detection of h. pylori in water and oral cavity, thus suggesting faecal-oral and oral-oral routes for transmission of h. pylori , respectively. in this study yeast has been proposed as a common vector for transmission of h. pylori . thus ...

Objective: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is the most common pathogenic bacteria in the stomach. The aim of the current study was to explore the effect of oral garlic administration on bacterial urease activity inside the stomach and its contribution to the treatment of H. pylori infection.   Materials and Methods: In this clinical trial, 15 patients were studied quantitatively with Urease Bre...

background:   there are also reports from other parts of the world indicating the presence of significant association of h. pylori infection and hyperemesis gravidarum, a bothersome condition that affects pregnant women.   objective: to test the hypothesis that whether h. pylori infection is associated with hyperemesis gravidarum among iranian h.p carriers.   methods: from november 1999 to febr...

conclusions there is a significant correlation between tympanosclerosis and h. pylori (p = 0.002). this correlation can single out h. pylori as a pathological factor in the development of tympanosclerosis; however, further studies are needed to prove this correlation. results from a total of 19 patients with tympanosclerosis , 16 cases (84.2%) were h. pylori positive, while in the control group...

aim : this study was conducted to evaluate the influence h. pylori infection and anti- caga status on the efficacy of omeperazole 20 m.g. b.d. for patients with endoscopic oesophagitis. background : the influence of helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) infection and its virulent strain (cytotoxin-associated gene a: caga ) has not been evaluated on efficacy of treatment for patients with erosive oeso...

aim : the current investigation aimed to evaluate ruminant raw milk as a reservoir source of this bacterium and analyze the diversity of caga and vaca genotypes as h. pylori virulence factors to find any relationship between these genotypes in human and animal h. pylori strains. background: the way of transmission of helicobacter pylori as one of the most controversial bacteria in the world whi...

background : animal models have been proven useful in elucidating the details of interaction between pathogenic bacteria and their human hosts, in addition to assessing the efficacy of therapeutic compounds and vaccines. in this study, we investigate the colonization of helicobacter pylori ( h. pylori ) in experimentally-infected guinea pigs over a six-month period. materials and methods: a bac...

Background: Glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy and is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide. Different factors have been contributed in the pathogenesis of glaucoma including H. pylori infection. Objective: To determine the levels of anti-H. pylori IgG antibody in the aqueous humor of patients with pseudoexfoliation and primary open angle glaucoma, in comparison with age and ...
